Obtaining the machine code packages

After checking to see if your system software is up to date, you can download the latest machine code release from the support site.

Before you begin

Check to see if a newer release of machine code is available by using the management GUI. Select Settings > System > Update System. When you arrive on this page, the system automatically checks for updates.

To obtain a new release of code for a system update, access the following site:

www.ibm.com/support

  1. Select Fixes (downloads) from the support shortcuts text box.
  2. Select Storwize® V3500 from the Product list.
  3. Select the version fix level from the Version fix level list.
  4. Select All in the Filter by operating system drop-down list.
  5. Select Continue.

The code is installed directly on the Storwize V3500 system. System code updates can be completed only in a strict order. The rules for updating from any version to the latest version are also provided on the website.
